The New Orleans Legacy Band

The New Orleans Legacy Band featuring Tommy Sancton

"There was a sense that there was almost like a religious revival, resurrection, a phoenix-like resurrection from the ashes. It’s kind of like—it reminds me a little bit of a movie I saw years later, Buena Vista Social Club, about reviving the music of these old Cuban musicians who’d kind of given up and fallen into obscurity. It was that sense that we are blowing on the embers of something that was dying and now may no longer be dying. We can help it live again . . . and, that was part of it, and then it was just the infectious joy and warmth and humanity of the musicians that really communicated at a time when whites and blacks did not socialize legally or certainly was not part of their daily life in relationship with other people." - Tommy Sancton
